This is still one of the best arguments in a film that I’ve seen. I love how they talk over each other and trip over their words. It adds the feeling that an organic argument typically has. This feels like a very natural breakdown between two old friends.
It's because it wasn't scripted, they were just given the topics to go over, the key points to make and then told to just go at each other. So it feels natural because it is.
Joe Pesci is terrifying when playing a character like Nicky, but then he could play Leo in Lethal Weapon and be just as convincing. That's real talent.
Same as De Niro. He can be scary in Raging Bull, Goodfellas and Cape Fear, but so sweet and innocent in Awakenings, funny in Midnight Run, and an annoying jackass in Meet the Parents 🤣 Rare talent
A lot of their dialogue is actually ad-libbed. Scorsese tells Pesci and Deniro what needs to happen in the scene, and they make up the dialogue as they go along. That's what makes Pesci insulting how Deniro dresses so funny.
@@Kelly14UK Man casino is incredible. The thing that ruins the movie for me is DeNiro's and his wife's story. It's unbearable and it's a major part of the movie. I wish the movie focused more on the casino/gangster part of the story.
"and I think in all fairness, I should explain to you exactly what it is that I do." and then the banker nods & smiles like he thinks he's in for some kind of treat, LOL!!! 😂
I show this clip to people to explain how a sociopath thinks. He literally would rather maim this civilian stockbroker and go to prison for it than accept the private insult of (as he sees it) being scammed out of money by a weaker operator. He doesn't understand how the civilian world works and he doesn't really care at all, nor does he fear any punishment the civilian world can give him. Going some sort of non-violent route would be easier, safer and actually save him a lot of money in the long run... but he's a violent sociopath. If you scam him, he physically harms you until you satisfy him. That's "what it is he does". The fact that he gleefully explains it to the stockbroker is why it's fascinating. He has insight into his nature.
Perfect acting, perfect dialogue, perfect narration, perfect ad libs. Just two guys pissed with one another, arguing. Excellent. Looks like a scene from real life.
Honest to God…you wouldn’t even have to give these two any script to remember….just give them cue stand back and let them go…they’d nail it first take…even the swearing is like poetry…..two masters in the zone
Amazing acting from both Pesci and DeNiro. They're bickering but Sam is holding back and trying to be civil because he knows how incredibly dangerous Nicky is. De Niro portrayed these feelings beautifully. Typical of a little brother arguing with the bigger, tougher brother. Both actors did the same thing but reversed in Raging Bull.
Nicky just never realized how important Ace was to the bosses, he actually thought his thing could outdue what Ace brought to the table, which was consistency, quiet, and longevity. Nicky brought attention and distraction.
Which explains the meeting in the desert. Ace asked Nicky to get out of town to let the bullshit blow over so he can run the casino. Shit started to get real from there.
Yup. Ace was the goose with the golden egg and a huge money makers for the bosses back home and Nicki was the muscle that was sent down there to make sure everything ran smooth and other crews weren't ripping off the casino or ace. Everything was supposed to be low key but nicki went rogue and started drawing to much attention. Eventually the nail that sticks out gets hammered.
Nicky was trying to take over vegas for himself, he wanted to be the boss, he knew how important Ace was to the bosses, he just didn't care because he had his own plans.
Joe Pesci played guitar in the band The Jersey Boys, when he left the band he was replaced by Jimi Hendrix. His accent is legit because he probably knew some slick cats
@@Karlebow571 not better than Pacino and Brando?? What a joke. Those 2 were never this real and natural in a scene. This is pinnacle of acting. Greatest actors ever. Look at the fuckin flow
"I'm stupid, I don't give a fuck about jail". That is a terrifying man right there. No remorse, no worry about consequences and certainly no care for your own well being. Nicky was a badass. Apparently the real guy who Pesci's character was based off of was insane as well. He apparently actually put a man's head in a vice like in the movie.

0:30 he doesn't even need to change his facial expression, yet you sense the rage boiling over inside as soon as he hears the word "loss", even before he utters the restrained "yeah". What a remarkable actor.
Well funny enough Nicky was actually being completely reasonable here first by calling Mr. Clark then approaching him reasonably here and asking him why didn’t he return his phone calls. Even when Mr. Clark blatantly said Nicky would just have to get stiffed, Nicky just asked for his money back. Mr. Clark definitely was playing with fire here and should’ve just gave him his money back
In the the Mafia, getting greedy is a bad thing because it attracts too much heat, you become more of a liability than an asset. Which is why in the middle of the desert, Sam advised Nicky to get out of town for while till the BS blows over. Nicky, of course, didn't heed that advice, and look where that got him.
Great scene, excellent acting. I don't think I'll ever get tired of watching this scene every now and then. And if there are Oscars for outstanding scenes in movies, the above scene sure does qualify. Regards, Michael M. Kamau, Nairobi, Kenya, 2nd November 2023.
Whenever I evaluate a movie script I always ask, "does this remind me of some shit I've seen in real life", and the way Joe Pesci's character instantly deflects every piece of legitimate criticism is something I've seen a thousand times. Class A narcissism down to the letter, this script is awesome.
Yeah, I remember the time, Starbucks, tried to F me out of a Gift Card and I was the same way, just like Nicky. I told the millenial LGBT person at the counter, with the ring in its nose and green hair and said... LISTEN, you ringed nose Green Haired Fool, give me my $25 back on the gift card!!!!
The bit about how he'd legitimately go to prison for assault rather than accept the insult of not getting his money back is pure sociopath. He even calmly explains it. That's who he is, and that's what he does, and he's literally not afraid of anything, so it's better to simply obey him rather than try to outmaneuver him. Short of death, he's going to keep doing the same thing.
Michael Franzese (a former caporegime of the Colombo family) said that Joe Pesci gave the most realistic performance of any mob guy actor he'd ever seen
In my humble opinion the 2:30ish mark on, Joe Pesci writes the book on acting. His voice changing, facial ticks, half sentences/ start and stops, etc etc etc It takes a hell of an actor to make you overlook a phenomenal scene by Robert D.
Truth, just look at the way he changes his tone. These 2 are the greatest actors ever. I am convinced. I have seen movies from 1930s to 2010s. Never ever seen better than these 2. Facts.
Pesci is so convincing when he rants that even though we KNOW its all just acting we are TOTALLY taken in and intimidated. Every performance of his and DeNiro is a masterclass in acting.
He’s one of the best actors for tough guys there’s ever been. Which is especially impresssive because there’s nothing about him physically that makes him look intimidating. he’s not big or muscular, no tattoos, no scars. It’s all in his moxie
Nobody does restrained menace quite like Joe Pesci. The way he says 'tommorow morning i'll get up nice and early, take a walk over to the bank, and if you don't have my money i'll crack your fuckin' head open in front of everybody in the bank' in such a calm way lol. So funny ^^
Hollywood's 2 greatest actors ever. I am convinced. I have seen hundreds of actors and tons of movies from every era. Never seen any better than these 2.
“Th’ glass is half empty Nicky c’mon” “Half empty? Th’ f*** is wrong wit’ you? Where’s yer optimism? It’s half full Sam” Sam’s internal monologue ‘I knew what he wanted, Nicky was thirsty and he wanted my glass a water. Trouble was, I wasn’t finished with it yet. But that was Nicky.’
"You know, I don't know what it is, Sammy, but the more I talk to you, the more I feel like you just don't want to go along with me."that was the turning point in Sam and Nicky's relationship.
1:04 Best part about this clip is just how loud Charlie's breathing gets as he gets more and more scared of the mobster threatening him. He goes from casual coolness and the holder of power, to being a snivelling weak man reduced to asking for help from the man who stood quietly by and watch the threats. Brilliant acting
He even came through on a few things god seemed to be having trouble with. God couldnt do anything about my neighbors dog barking all night, but Pesci straightened those cocksuckers out in one visit!
I know the whole scene by heart and have for years. The part I like is after the banker goes down the stairs, Pesci turns around, touches his belt line, and seriously asks Ace "You think he got the point?" - LOL. Yeah, I think he did lol. "You go get my money or I'll put your fucking brain to sleep" definitely helped deliver the point clearly.
These legitimate business guys thought the mob was out of Vegas by the '70s, just because Bugsy Siegel, Luciano, Costello etc. were gone. Notice he laughs at first thinking it's a joke. He doesn't have any idea Nicky's really a gangster. He starts to panic when he realizes he is. Great portrayal of the mob in '70s Vegas, and how they took a lot of legitimate people off guard.
One of the best scenes with Pesci and De Niro of ALL TIME! There isn’t any actors like them anymore AL Pacino, Robert De Niro, Joe Pesci, jack Nicholson, and Clint Eastwood fuckin legends doesn’t get any better!
This is one of the scenes that made me fall in love with this movie from the very first time I ever saw it. I can still recite Pesci's threats by heart, word for word 😂😂😂
I've watched this movie so many times, I practically know all the dialog, word-for-word 👌. Here's the funny thing: (Ever been so mad at someone, that you make an out-of-body ludicrous idle threat?) Here's what happened. Someone made me so mad a few years ago, that I made a stupidly ridiculous threat, about taking a walk down their place one morning and cracking their f*ckin head wide open, in front of everyone, and that I wasn't afraid to go back to jail! 😳. I literally had this scene on my mind, but I altered the dialog slightly, just in case they were a fan of the movie 😂. Now, I'm not a violent person and wouldn't get in a fight, nor would I ever do anything like that in a million years, but I was so convincing, that I saw the fear in the eyes of the guy i threatened (he deserved it)....so much so, that he apologised and begged me to forgive him 😂. Which I did.... As i walked away, my back turned towards him, I thought to myself: "What are you talking about you MORON, you've NEVER been to jail" 😂😂😂
“Cuz I’m fuckin’ stupid. I don’t give a fuck about jail.”

"No I didn't, what good would that do, that's not the point" LMAOOOOO
These guys don't even try to be funny and we still laugh 😂😂 Acting Gods and what a director
1:04 I love Ace's reaction. He's just like "ah shit, here he goes again!"
"Tomorrow morning I'm gonna get my shinebox and walk into the bank and make your shoes look like a mirror!"
Hes gunn shine his shoes? wtf? lol u have words fucked up
Kevin Pierce Ever see Goodfellas?
It's a reference to a Goodfellas scene with Joe Pesci, it's a funny one too.
I don't get how that's a threat or joke, sounds like he has a foot-fetish...
Good one mate haha
Nicky embodies the phrase, “We can handle this like gentlemen or we can get into some gangsta sh*t.”
Can we also appreciate the acting by Richard Riehle? He does a great job of looking genuinely scared and plays the bullshit artist perfectly
Riehle, one of the the best character actors of his type. That's a conclusion we should all jump to.
His heavy breathing has the threat becomes more and more menacing is a great touch 🤣🤣
"I .... I THINK IM HAVING TROUBLE WITH THE SHIFTER, IT'S.... IT'S JYAMMMED...."
@@JamesRDavenport "What the hell is wrong with you people" would have provoked an interesting response in this scene.
@@JamesRDavenport I see you all recognize him from "Office Space."
Nobody does restrained menace quite like Joe Pesci. The way he says 'tommorow morning i'll get up nice and early, take a walk over to the bank, and if you don't have my money i'll crack your fuckin' head open in front of everybody in the bank' in such a calm way lol. So funny ^^
Thats rich coming from you... BATMAN!
🤣
“He’s a square guy for Christ’s sake , you can’t treat him like that. He’s gonna run to the fbi”🤣🤣
😂😂😂
i'd be the opposite, i'd wanna leave the country and assume a new identity 😧
"Heh. What are you gonna do, strongarm me?"
DeNiro: *Collects ice nervously.*
I feel like I could watch Joe Pesci and Robert De Niro argue about any random topic for hours on end and not get bored.
Hollywood's 2 greatest actors ever. I am convinced. I have seen hundreds of actors and tons of movies from every era. Never seen any better than these 2.
“Th’ glass is half empty Nicky c’mon”
“Half empty? Th’ f*** is wrong wit’ you? Where’s yer optimism? It’s half full Sam”
Sam’s internal monologue ‘I knew what he wanted, Nicky was thirsty and he wanted my glass a water. Trouble was, I wasn’t finished with it yet. But that was Nicky.’
Watch the extra features on The Score DVD, De Niro and Marlon Brando ad-libbing together, fucking brilliant too.
It wouldn't put my brain to sleep.
SNL ICE cream skit with Pacino and Deniro arguing over ice cream LOL
Joe Pesci's gangster roles are probably the most convincingly intimidating I've ever seen.
Two masters of their craft. This scene is perfect in every way.
Well put.
This has to be one of the best scenes in movie history. You're walking around like John Barrymore!
With your pink robe and cigarette holder. Lol
You’ve been treating a lot of people with a lot of disrespect !
Nicky Santoro is based off the real life Chicago gangster Tony the ant Spilotro .
the bankers face was priceless when he was threatening him.
*face
My bad.
all good
Goes from smugjolly to face-to-face with the Devil lmao
for real, he went bitch-made real quicc.
That look Deniro gives when Nicky says he’s going to crack the bankers head wide open. Classic!!
This, the desert, the pen and the shine box are the best scenes ever. Joe pesci is a legend
I like how Nicky keeps mumbling all the way down the stairs.
fuckin' walkin' around in a pink robe...
And he ripped Spyder for being a stuttering, mumbling fuck🤣🤣
"You know, I don't know what it is, Sammy, but the more I talk to you, the more I feel like you just don't want to go along with me."that was the turning point in Sam and Nicky's relationship.
We need to clone Joe pescis character 10,000 fold and have him walk into every bank he can and deliver that speech
ROUSH4203 r the krj jehjjj
Especially during the subprime mortgage melt down
He is also a anger issue having murderer though.
LOL
The clones have to give the speech in THAT EXACT SAME TONE too!!!! 😳
😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
They're bickering like an old married couple lmfao
I THINK I WANT MY MONEY BACK 😂
Don Rozay You putted to sleep, didn't you?
I love the way he says it. lol
And being joe pesci, that's what you do when he wants his money back. That guy might be little, but he is intimidating as hell.
wow caps lock
YOU GET MY MONEY OR I'M GONNA PUT YOUR FUCKEN BRAIN TO SLEEP
THERE WASN'T TOO MANY MIDDLE AGED ACTORS AT 5'4 THAT CAN MAKE YOU BELIEVE HE WAS A LEGIT TOUGH GUY.
Well, most of the time he is stabbing the person not beating them up.
If he would of been a 6'2 200lb guy Pesci might of been the most terrifying Mob actor of all time.
There's not too many young people today that make me believe they're tough guys.
@@robertthomas2601 Try looking at the current UFC roster.
@@alphamale1228 That's who I was looking at when I made the comment.
I'm my personal opinion Robert De Niro and Joe Pesci are the most intimidating and scary tough guy gangster actors ever. Again my personal opinion.
Gamer98 How do you rate James Cagney and Humphrey Bogart?
How can a fact be a opinion?
Roshan S I'll give you that, but after Sollozo, he got BIG.
Roshan S Both Godfather and Scarface. I do agree him, Deniro, and Pesci are the best however.
Gamer98 its a fact. Don’t worry.
1:04 Best part about this clip is just how loud Charlie's breathing gets as he gets more and more scared of the mobster threatening him. He goes from casual coolness and the holder of power, to being a snivelling weak man reduced to asking for help from the man who stood quietly by and watch the threats. Brilliant acting
The tension building like when he had his Sitdown with The Bobs
That’s not the best part, the argument is
I pray to Joe Pesci..seems like a guy who can get things done
RIP Carlin
"Pesci For President!", then.
He even came through on a few things god seemed to be having trouble with. God couldnt do anything about my neighbors dog barking all night, but Pesci straightened those cocksuckers out in one visit!
I love how calm joe Pesci explains what it is he does to the banker
Well, he literally explained the possible future which is why it is not just an insult
One of Joe Pesci's best scenes in his acting career.
One of many
His timing is amazing
The investment in the "Jump To Conclusions Mat" went south and Nicky lost his money
Jason Jokerst 😂😂
Word has it Ritchie Aprile lost money on it as well, and he got the beansie treatment
" I HAVE PEOPLE SKILLS !?!?! "
HAHAHAHAHA
Hahahaha. Good one.
Martin Scorsese and Nicholas Pileggi. When they collaborate on a screenplay, you know it's going to be GOLD. Brilliant writing.
Joe Pesci is brilliant.Perhaps even a little too realistic
You could almost hear the Plop sound of Charlie the banker s--tting his pants as Pesci is talking to him.
The way he struts out of that room. My god he is SO believable as a gangster.
Amazing actor
The part when he did the cigarette holder gesture had me dying 😂
Ha ha yep
He’s walking around like fucking John Barrymore
You can try me fat so 😂😂😂😂🙈

"The Lester Diamond incident!" That was so classic of Joe Pesci!
No matter how heated the arguments were between these 2, it never came to blows.
I know the whole scene by heart and have for years. The part I like is after the banker goes down the stairs, Pesci turns around, touches his belt line, and seriously asks Ace "You think he got the point?" - LOL. Yeah, I think he did lol. "You go get my money or I'll put your fucking brain to sleep" definitely helped deliver the point clearly.
"Cause I'm fuckin stupid. I don't give a fuck about jail. That's my business. That's what I do."
Pesci is a God
True friendly duel of a couple of the greatest actors to ever live. And for them it was probably another day at the office....greatness
Best line is I think you've got the wrong impression about me....... !
This is one of my favorite line to say to anyone who thinks I'm just a nice, easy-going guy, which I am but that can get easily changed around.
1:04 I love De Niro's reaction here. Brilliant
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Greatest actor of all time. Fuckin it😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
He eventually does the exact same face when Pesci was cursing at him in the desert lol.
He was like ‘Oh here we go again 😒’ lmao!
The thing is that you know he would do it. It's a simple scene but so well acted, and written.
Pesci is such an underated actor. Brilliant.
I like that look De Niro gives when Pesci starts talking to the banker, indicating that he very well knows that Pesci is going to crush the banker.
These legitimate business guys thought the mob was out of Vegas by the '70s, just because Bugsy Siegel, Luciano, Costello etc. were gone. Notice he laughs at first thinking it's a joke. He doesn't have any idea Nicky's really a gangster. He starts to panic when he realizes he is. Great portrayal of the mob in '70s Vegas, and how they took a lot of legitimate people off guard.
There IS no such thing as legitimate people.
@@rayjr62 Yes there IS.
Luciano=Salvatore Lucania😁
They may be still there in some deep way...
One of my favorite scenes. The argument feels so legit 💯
You'll never see better acting again absolute legends.
One of the best scenes with Pesci and De Niro of ALL TIME! There isn’t any actors like them anymore AL Pacino, Robert De Niro, Joe Pesci, jack Nicholson, and Clint Eastwood fuckin legends doesn’t get any better!
"And guess what?...I'll split your fuckin' head open again." Mr. Clark's heavy breathing was an inbound heart attack.
so this is where the famous soundboard lines came from!
I love how after Nicky is finished arguing with Ace he just continues talking and ranting to himself as he's walking outside, it's fucking hilarious.
"where's my head !, Where's your fucking balls" Joe pesci is legendary 😂
I LOVE JOE PESCI!!!!! HE INSPIRES ME!!!!!
This is one of the scenes that made me fall in love with this movie from the very first time I ever saw it. I can still recite Pesci's threats by heart, word for word 😂😂😂
"How the fuck am i gonna git your money now?!" "You think he's give you money , are you out of your mind?!"😨
I've watched this movie so many times, I practically know all the dialog, word-for-word 👌. Here's the funny thing: (Ever been so mad at someone, that you make an out-of-body ludicrous idle threat?) Here's what happened. Someone made me so mad a few years ago, that I made a stupidly ridiculous threat, about taking a walk down their place one morning and cracking their f*ckin head wide open, in front of everyone, and that I wasn't afraid to go back to jail! 😳. I literally had this scene on my mind, but I altered the dialog slightly, just in case they were a fan of the movie 😂.
Now, I'm not a violent person and wouldn't get in a fight, nor would I ever do anything like that in a million years, but I was so convincing, that I saw the fear in the eyes of the guy i threatened (he deserved it)....so much so, that he apologised and begged me to forgive him 😂. Which I did....
As i walked away, my back turned towards him, I thought to myself: "What are you talking about you MORON, you've NEVER been to jail" 😂😂😂
These Actors played their individual characters SO WELL!
Each one held his own.
Just AWESOME to watch top-notch Actors!
